I have no problem with that. I am actually amazed that Frontier is still around. For fourteen years, people have been telling me it is dying (or will be crushed).

Maybe one day they'll be right.

The big problem for Frontier is another airline probably would never be interested in buying them because they are a DEN centric airline. I believe DEN can support two hubs long term, but not three. Southwest is really aggressive in DEN and I don't see them laying off.
People have been telling me that since Southwest first announced DEN, too, but Frontier is still there, regained the #2 spot last November and will serve a record number of destinations from DEN this summer.
